LEAD READs represent a collection of seminal readings related to various aspects of educational leadership and are strategically selected for impact on perspective, application, and practice. Although each LEAD READ is connected to a specific course, the book’s content will not be discussed as part of that course. LEAD READs are to be read independently. Cohort members are encouraged to organize formal or informal discussion and study groups. Role of faculty in the LEAD READ process will include administration of examination, scoring of examination, logistics of examination process, modeling of potential questions, and preparation expectations. Below is the list of LEAD READ selections. Following this list is the Framework for Instruction, Learning, and Application (FILA), which serves as a valuable tool to guide LEAD READ discussion and study. A benchmark examination over LEAD READ content will be administered at the end of the Summer 3 semester. Joanna 7 Karen 7
